IWD: A Trans Perspective

As today is International Women’s Day, the question remains, where do trans people fit? If you consider yourself a woman but weren’t born one chances are you’ve dealt with a whole other layer of gender-related challenges.

Transfolk of WA is WA’s peak support and services network for trans and gender diverse people, their family and friends.

Assistant Director and RTRFM presenter Robin Litvins-Salter came into Breakfast to talk to Caitlin and tell us what International Women’s Day means to her.
